There are many varieties of mushrooms at Romesdal, in the fields, under the trees and by the burn. For some reason I like to study them.But not in a scientific way with measurements and notes. I just like to look at the different colours, textures and shapes by bending down and getting a little closer. One day there is nothing except grass and earth and the next this strange, almost creature like thing has emerged.
With head bent, intent on the ground, time passes quickly and you don't have to venture far in terms of distance for a long walk around the croft.
Is that one edible? Or is that one poisonous? And why does this one always appear on a cow pat?
And there are large mushrooms, small mushrooms and no doubt there are magic mushrooms.
I have no desire to be an expert in the mushroom field. To dissect and classify is to demystify.
For me fungi will remain mysterious forms of life with the capacity to feed, kill, intoxicate or simply make a day more pleasant by indulging in the simple act of finding and looking.
Wonder what kind of fungi tomorrow will bring?
PS can anyone out there tell me what kind this is? (Apart from the obvious that it is a younger version of the mushroom in the first photo)

The first is an Amanita rubescens, the second belongs to the genus Lactarius, and the third belongs to the genus Leccinum. With these photographs and without examining the mushrooms I can tell you no more.
A greeting.
